the temper OF stock speculation to-day and
most OF yesterdays losses were regained
Prices were on a higher plane throughout
the day. The opening was strong and ac-
tive with advances which extended to : per
cent, but grew icyerish, and irregularity
Was developed witha generally heavy tone,
which became weak during the first hour,
bUt the market soon gathered strength,
and by noon was generally At about
opening figures. There was Il marked de
crease IN the amount OF business done after
that time, but prices slowly advanced,
subject Ia several unimpOrtant set backs
More positive strength was shown III the
last hour aud the close was strong at the

that the court i'm this case would grant that
which I'M civil case waS matter OF right.
Ir could not see why this application
should bee cumbttted whlchiu almost every
prGiuar, case WIS considered Il matter OF
right
Nj. Parsons then cited a number OF
,lsrs where stays had been granted pend
fn., appeals i'm murder eases, among them
Edward = stokes. an his conviction tor
the murder OF Fisk. The oIicnsc in this
ease, he ~.,rd wus much less hrnous ana
WAS more deserving of a stay. Justice, h"
claimed, would lose nothing by waiting
until "a higher court had pissed upon
Snaps conviction before casting him ihJ"
, prison where me wonid surely die.
NJ l2.%5 p. ia. Mr. Parker began Tin"
concluding argument iu favor oi a stay.
Then District Attorney MARITIME followed

Gan with a defense of the jury and judge
Barrett, charge Even presumlng their
validity, he said none of the points brought
up by the defense were ct sufficient i'm

New YORK, November pa special
train yesterday took about three hundred
gentlemen to Ridgefeld Park, n. j., on
the West Shore Railroad, where a number
of tests were made by the Westinghouse

its new system of braking to long freight

than twenty-five cars, but it was found

humping Of the rear cars, which had not
yet been stopped, against the cars in front,
was so serious as to set limit to the sys-
TENS utility so far as freight trains were
concerned. 1t was TO demonstrate that he
had practically annibilated this difference
and made the air-brake's advantages avail
able ON long freight trains that Mr.. West
inghouse took the visitors yesterday out
for a trip on the West Shore Road.
A freight train 1900 feet long, and
weighing 1900, 900 pounds, drawn by a
mighty engine of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy road, was used in the expert
ments. An emergency stop, with the
freight trSn running twenty miles an
hour, was the first test. The brake was
applied, and in twelve and quarter sec
onds the train was at standstill, having
run less than 200 feet. The next test was
made with similar conditions, except that
the train was run at a speed of forty miles
an hour. This time the train was stopped
in twenty seconds, and distance of 674l
feet.
The third test was of the rapidity with
which the brakes were applied, the train
standing still so that observers could tell
the time which elapsed between the engine
whistle announcing the application of the
power and the sound Of moving brakes at
various distances along the train. The cars
were numbered in order from front to rear of
the train, and to persons who stood oppO.
site Car No. 81 the Two sounds described
were synchronous. 4 high pres
sure test, with the train running
twenty-five miles an hour, resulted in it's
being pulled up IN SIX seconds, nlnety-one
feet from the stopping post.
The last test was, spectacularly, the
best of the afternoon. 1t was intended to
show the relative stopping power of the
old brakes, as used on II coach passenger
trains. and the new brakes on a 20-Car
freight train. Downithe.trac chimney
and chimney came the two trains. Forty
five miles an hour was the speed at which
the trains were going a. they neared the
stopping post and the freight train was
only about three Icet in front as they pass
